one method to fix this without updating the database is to add a  bp.conf entry:
FAILOVER_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVERS = <old_media_server_name> <new_media_server_name> 
You could also use the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER directive.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restores timing out after retiring a media server
All:
Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master / media server
on NetBackup 6.5.2.  We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a
couple windows b/u's thrown in for good measure.

We were running with a master and a media server and have retired the
media server.  I have changed all the policies to use the master as the
media server and am having no problems with backups.  The problem is
when I try to restore something that was backed up when we had the
separate media server.  For the Source Client in the restore gui, if I
don't point to the old media server, I don't see the files that I need
to restore.  If I point to the old media server, I see everything I need
but because the machine is down, the restore times out.  

Did I miss something in the process of retiring the media server that is
causing this?  Anyone have any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks in advance....

Wayne BeDour
